The institutions are trying to carry out written examinations and provide the adaptation of students to this kind of evaluation technique. In this study, general survey model is used. The application scale of the selfefficacy towards written examination was developed in the direction of Mamak Anatolia high school and Sehit Piyade Er Murat Eroglu secondary school students. The validity and the reliability of the scale is done on the data gained from 305 students elected by the method of convenience sampling. At first, the scale was prepared as 61 items. Then 36 items are taken out related to factor analysis and 25 items left eventually. KMO (Kaiser-Meyer Olkin) value is 0.870 and the value of (Cronbach alpha) calculated for the reliability study is .887. As a result of factorial validity of the scale, items change between .416 and .722. According to the factor analysis results, three factors are found.
